Exhibitions

The CGAC, the first museum designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira, has addressed architecture from multiple perspectives throughout its programme of activities and exhibitions, often through the gaze of the artists who have collaborated with the centre since its opening in 1993.

Lluís Hortalà (Olot, Girona, 1959) plays with the deception and confusion of the gaze, immersing us in the art of trompe l 'oeil. Focusing carefully on detail, a painting that is realistic to the extreme, that is mimetic with textures and sheens, capable of visually reproducing the touch and sometimes the cold temperature of the stones.

The Berlin-based artist Alexandra Ranner (Osterhofen, Germany, 1967) is to present her first solo exhibition in a Spanish museum at the CGAC. An overview of her artistic career from 2003 up until the present day, the show is based on a selection of works in different media, such as photography, sculpture, installation or video.
